Once again, Chuck Gordon has struck a musical note that will resonate well with those interested in songs for the steelpan. Then again, this Soca music release is a little different musically. They call it 'Jiggy Calypso' but it is just more Calypso than Soca. The song is titled D'Panyard and is Chucky's first release for Carnival 2024. 
 
D'Panyard is a musical gem and is a tribute to the panyard, which is a community space where steelpan players practice and perform. As carnival approaches, panyards across Trinidad and Tobago come alive, with crowds gathering every night to get a taste of the song of choice and music arrangement for the Panorama competition. This song is a tribute to and a celebration of the joy and unity that can be found in the panyard.
 
Chucky is spitting musical notes and singing about the "sweet strains of stick on steel" that fill the air at the panyard. He also describes the "masses" who follow the drums to the panyard to "support their favorite sides" or just "engage in our most treasured pastime, liming." This is a well-crafted song, and kudos go out to all those responsible for the production and final product, especially Damien "Crazy D" Preston of DP Productions. We love this song!

This is new music from Farmer Nappy for Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival 2024. If, after listening to this song, you don't feel good inside, then you don't love Soca, and most of all, you don't love feel-good music! The song is titled How Ah Livin', and we can say we are living well! This song has already garnered 24K views and counting.
 
The official music video for the song was directed by Navindra Harbukhan, and produced by Country Life Music. How Ah Livin' is available for purchase on all popular music sites. Kudos to all involved in the production of this excellent song.

Oh Nadie! Nadia Batson can do no wrong, and when it comes to Soca music, she is on top of her game. So many will watch, wonder, and attempt to emulate the talent of this gifted singer. This is new music for carnivals in 2024, initially released for Trinidad and Tobago Carnival 2024. The song is titled "Everytime," and it is a production of XplicitMevon & Stemz Productions.
 
We love the music production; it has a sweet Groove Soca flow and will become a favorite for fete goers wanting to get that sweet whine with someone special. When the music production hits the sweet spot, the next two items to fall into place are good lyrics and a sweet singing voice, and voila, you have a carnival hit! Nadia Baton and Erikkson George gave good lyrical content, and Nadia's sweet voice and exquisite singing style rounded off the corners, making this one a must-have for any playlist and a go-to groove track for DJs at carnival fetes. We love this song. Enjoy!
